Evelyn's mind raced, trying to understand his words. Her heart pounded with fear, unsure of what might happen next.

She wasn't lying when she warned him about BioGen and Agusto's cooperation, but there wasn't even a hint of hesitation or fear in his response.

She took a deep breath, trying to steady her nerves.

"Please listen," she said, her voice trembling slightly but still firm, "BioGen can give you a lot of benefits," 

She watched him carefully, hoping that talking about his ambition might make him rethink. 

"And what could you possibly offer?" he chuckled, clearly enjoying watching her futile attempt.
